OUR  UNION  BRICK  MACHINES 

WE  were  the  originators  of  this  type  of  stiff-mud  brick  machine,  the  first  being  placed 
on  the  market  in  1894. 

They  proved  successful  from  the  beginning,  and  have  since  become  very  popular. 
Other  sizes  of  the  same  general  design  have  been  added  to  our  list  from  time  to  tune  as  has 
seemed  necessary,  and  all  have  been  perfected  in  various  detail  as  has  been  found  best  to  most 
completely  fulfill  their  purposes. 

They  have  various  points  of  advantage. 

In  many  cases  the  use  of  a  separate  Pug  Mill  or  clay  mixer  can  be  avoided,  as  a  long  or  short 
feeding  or  mixing  chamber  is  made  a  part  of  the  construction. 

Our  “  J”  Size  Union  Machine  is  here  shown  with  long  mixing  chamber. 

It  is  one  of  the  largest,  heaviest  ever  offered,  and  is  suited  for  use  in  plants  of  largest  capacity.

THE  type  of  this  machine  here  shown  is  made  with  short  feeding  chamber,  and  is  intended 
for  use  with  a  separate  Pug  Mill. 

As  the  hopper  or  opening  to  receive  the  supply  of  clay  is  very  large  (54"  x  30"), 
clogging  is  avoided,  and  a  steady  and  uniform  supply  of  clay  is  fed  to  the  auger  chamber  below, 
thus  tending  to  produce  a  more  constant  flow  of  clay  from  the  die  and,  consequently,  increasing 
the  average  daily  output. 

The  design  of  our  Union  machines  is  such  that  a  feeding  chamber  of  any  length  may  he  had 
without  the  use  of  a  long  projection  of  the  auger  shaft  beyond  its  journal  bearing,  and,  besides 
the  fact  that  in  these  machines  the  projection  is  short,  it  is  also  true  that  in  every  case  the  auger 
shaft  is  supported  by  three  journal  hearings.

THIS  is  a  modification  of  the  Union  type  of  brick  machine  with  respect  to  the  feeding 
chamber,  which  is  closed  for  a  part  of  its  length,  the  effect  of  which  is  to  somewhat 
reduce  the  size  of  hopper  opening,  which  in  this  case  is  26 "  x  26".  In  other  respects 
the  construction  is  similar  to  that  of  the  machines  shown  on  the  preceding  pages,  affording  a 
long  feeding  chamber  with  auger  shaft  supported  by  three  journal  bearings,  and  having  short 
overhang. 

All  these  machines  are  mounted  on  steel  I-beam  sills  connected  by  heavy  cast-iron  cross 
beams,  giving  them  unusual  rigidity,  and  also  affording  a  substantial  method  of  attaching  the 
machine  to  its  foundation.  These  sills  are  extended  to  receive  the  stand  which  supports  the 
out-board  journal  bearing  for  the  pulley  shaft. 

It  will  be  noted  that  the  gearing,  which  is  of  massive  proportions,  is  protected  against  dust 
and  accident  by  a  removable  casing  which  is  provided  with  hinged  openings  for  convenient 


access.

THIS  is  our  “M”  Size  Union  Brick  Machine,  and,  while  similar  to  the  “  ]”  size,  is  some¬ 
what  smaller. 

It  is  here  shown  with  long  mixing  chamber,  but  it  is  also  built  with  short  chamber, 
similar  to  that  shown  on  page  6. 

When  the  long  mixing  chamber  is  used  a  separate  Pug  Mill  is  usually  not  required,  and  all 
the  work  of  mixing  and  tempering  the  clay  and  moulding  the  brick  is  performed  by  a  brick 
machine  of  this  type  requiring  only  one  driving  belt,  and  the  Pug  Mill  attendant,  being  immedi¬ 
ately  at  hand,  can  easily  observe  the  effect  of  any  temper  of  the  clay,  and  can  be  useful  in  various 
ways  in  stopping  or  starting  the  machine  by  means  of  the  lever  on  either  side,  in  giving  atten¬ 
tion  to  the  lubrication  of  the  brick  die,  and  in  a  general  oversight  of  the  machine  and  cutting 
apparatus, —  all  of  which  are  matters  of  considerable  importance.

OUR  “L”  or  Intermediate  Union  Brick  Machine  is  similar  to  the  “  J”  and  “M”  sizes 
in  general  design,  but  is  one  size  smaller  than  the  “M.” 

All  our  machines  are  made  of  good  material,  carefully  selected  for  the  different 
parts  of  the  work,  each  according  to  its  purpose.  Shafts  of  high-grade  steel.  Pinions  of  steel 
casting.  Mixing  knives  of  crucible  steel,  forged  and  hardened  where  exposed  to  wear.  1  hese 
are  held  in  iron  sockets  made  in  two  parts,  completely  covering  the  shaft. 

Any  knife  or  socket  can  be  removed  without  disturbing  any  others  on  the  shaft. 

The  augers  are  made  of  a  mixture  of  extra  hard  metal.  I  bus  these  important  parts  which 
revolve  in  the  clay  are  made  to  best  resist  the  wear  from  constant  contact  with  more  or  less 
gritty  material.

OUR  Number  One  Union  Brick  Machine  differs  but  slightly  in  design  from  that  described 
on  the  previous  page,  but  is  of  still  smaller  size. 

Its  simple  gearing,  while  not  entirely  enclosed,  is  protected  by  a  covering  at  the  top 


and  sides. 

This  machine  is  well  suited  to  the  manufacture  of  either  brick  or  drain  tde,  and  other  similar 
work. 

In  this,  as  in  our  other  machines,  a  friction  clutch  pulley  is  provided,  this  being  connected 
to  the  levers  at  the  front,  by  means  of  which  the  machine  can  be  easily  and  quickly  stopped, 
or  can  be  started  while  the  driving  belt  continues  in  motion. 

In  all  our  machines  great  care  has  been  taken  in  designing  the  gearing,  in  order  that  each 
wheel  may  be  of  the  proper  proportions  for  strength  and  wear,  and  much  attention  has  been 
given  to  the  shaping  of  the  teeth  to  the  proper  curves,  and  the  pattern  teeth  are  accurately 
machine  cut.

THE  Number  Two  Union  Machine  here  shown  is  the  smallest  size  we  are  now  building, 
and  is  similar  in  general  design  to  the  Number  One  size.  It  is  used  principally  for  the 
manufacture  of  brick  or  drain  tile.  1  he  illustration  shows  this  machine  arranged  lor 
making  brick,  one  ol  our  Standard  Board  Delivery  Cutters  being  used. 

It  should  be  remembered  that  in  our  Union  Machines  the  clay  is  constantly  fed  from  the 
mixing  chamber  to  the  auger  by  means  ol  curved  arms  on  the  mixer  shalt.  I  hese  are  designed 
so  as  to  avoid  dead  clay  between  the  mixer  and  auger  chambers,  and  tendency  to  clog  or  failure 
to  feed  is  avoided. 

All  our  Union  Machines  are  provided  with  a  renewable  thrust  bearing  of  marine  type  on 
the  auger  shalt,  and  in  most  sizes  on  the  mixer  shaft  also. 

These  improvements,  first  designed  and  made  practical  by  ourselves  many  years  ago,  have 
proved  very  satisfactory.

“MAMMOTH”  AUGER  BRICK  MACHINE 

THIS  is  a  machine  of  massive  and  well-balanced  proportions,  and  embodies  many  thor¬ 
oughly  tested  improvements. 

It  is  eminently  successful  in  the  manufacture  of  brick,  hollow  building  blocks,  fire¬ 
proofing,  etc. 

We  invite  attention  to  the  construction  of  the  removable  hinged  front  or  head  used  in  this 
and  most  of  our  other  machines,  a  heavy  flange  being  provided  at  the  front  of  the  barrel  by  means 
of  which  other  heads  can  be  conveniently  attached,  as  may  be  required  for  special  work.  1  he 
hinged  front  is  held  in  place  by  a  safety  bolt  which  gives  way  in  case  of  undue  or  dangerous 
pressure  from  the  use  of  dry  clay  or  other  cause. 

The  excellence  of  our  steam,  oil,  or  water  lubricated  dies  has  long  been  recognized.  1  hey 
are  made  of  various  proportions  to  best  suit  the  nature  of  the  clay.  They  can  be  very  conveni¬ 
ently  renewed  in  case  of  wear,  being  held  in  place  by  substantial  bolts,  no  trappy  screws  or 
putty  being  used.

“MAMMOTH  JR.”  AUGER  BRICK  MACHINE 

SIMILAR  to  the  “Mammoth,”  but  somewhat  smaller  in  size,  this  machine  includes  all  the 
features  of  excellence  found  in  that  machine,  and  it  is  suited  to  the  same  class  of  work. 

In  both  these  machines  a  rotary  force  feed  is  used  in  and  at  one  side  of  the  hopper 
for  preventing  the  usual  tendency  of  the  clay  to  clog.  This  improvement  is  of  our  invention, 
and  has  been  long  and  successfully  used  by  us. 

One  of  the  important  features  of  our  machinery  is  found  in  the  fact  that  the  parts  used  in 
the  construction  are  made  from  standard  gauges  or  templates,  and  are  interchangeable,  and 
new  parts  can  be  promptly  furnished  to  fit  in  case  renewal  is  required  from  wear  or  accident. 
Each  piece  of  casting  bears  a  letter  or  number  by  which  a  duplicate  can  he  ordered,  or  a  brief 
description  of  the  location  or  use  of  the  part  wanted  is  sufficient. 

A  complete  record  is  kept  of  the  machinery  and  equipment  furnished  each  customer.

SIZE  40  ROTATING  AUTOMATIC  CUTTER 


A  I  present  we  build  three  sizes  of  our  Automatic  Cutters  of  this  type,  this  being  the  largest, 
and  it  is  designed  for  special  work  of  large  size  —  such  as  Norman  brick,  hollow  radial 
^chimney  blocks,  etc.  It  can  also  he  used  for  standard  brick,  but  it  is  not  so  well  suited 
to  large  capacity  in  standard  brick  as  the  Size  24  Cutter. 

Convenient  lateral  adjustment  of  the  cutting  part  of  the  apparatus  and  vertical  adjustment 
of  the  measuring  table  by  means  of  screws  is  provided,  when  necessary,  to  suit  varying  sizes  of 
dies,  without  disturbing  the  separating  table.  It  will  receive  a  bar  of  clay  thirteen  inches  wide, 
and  is  modified,  when  necessary,  to  receive  larger  sizes. 

The  general  design  and  all  the  details  of  these  Cutters  have  been  carefully  studied,  with  the 
view  of  securing  simple  and  durable  construction,  positive  operation,  and  the  cutting  of  clay 
wares  to  exact  and  uniform  thickness  and  with  smooth  edges.

OUR  ROTATING  AUTOMATIC  CUTTERS 

4  S  is  true  of  many  other  important  improvements  in  Clay  Working  Machinery,  we  were 
j— \  the  pioneers  in  the  invention  of  Automatic  Cutters  of  this  type,  which  have  practically 
revolutionized  the  production  of  high-grade  side-cut  brick. 

With  these  machines  the  brick  are  cut  with  great  exactness,  square,  straight,  and  of  uniform 
thickness,  and  owing  to  the  shearing  movement  of  the  cutting  wires,  the  edges  are  left  very 
smooth  and  perfect. 

As  the  clay  bar  issues  continuously  from  the  brick  die  it  is  first  received  on  a  measuring  belt, 
thence  it  passes  onto  the  cutting  apparatus  provided  with  narrow  slots  for  the  passage  of  the 
cutting  wires,  thence,  after  being  cut  into  brick  thicknesses,  onto  the  separating  or  carrying- 
away  belt,  which  moves  faster  than  the  clay  bar,  and  therefore  separates  the  brick  for  convenient 
removal. 

The  intermittently  revolving  cutting  reel  has  three  steel  bars  with  fixtures  for  holding  the 
outer  ends  of  the  wires,  the  inner  ends  being  attached  to  hooks  forming  a  part  of  each  of  a  series 
of  rings  revolving  in  and  exactly  supported  by  three  grooved  bars.  1  he  fixtures  and  hooks  are 
especially  designed  with  guides  to  support  each  end  of  the  wires  exactly  in  proper  place. 

No  central  shaft  used  to  support  platen  plates,  these  being  attached  directly  to  the  side  bar, 
which  is  made  in  one  continuous  casting.

OUR  ROTATING  AUTOMATIC  CUTTERS 

WHEN  the  clay  bar  and  measuring  belt  have  moved  a  hxed  distance,  the  cutting  reel 
starts  into  motion  completing  one  cut  while  at  the  same  time  it  is  moved  longitudi¬ 
nally  in  unison  with  the  moving  clay,  insuring  a  straight  cut.  This  is  an  important 
point  and  is  most  successfully  accomplished  in  these  machines  independently  of  the  degree  of 
lubrication  of  the  platen  surface. 

Power  is  applied  to  both  the  measuring  belt  and  the  Cutting  Reel  from  the  driving  shaft,  thus 
relieving  the  clay  bar  from  this  work  and  consequent  liability  to  bulge  or  swell. 

Cutting  wires  can  be  renewed  without  interruption  or  the  loss  of  a  single  brick. 

The  reel  rings  and  the  cutter  carriage  are  carried  on  traveler  rollers,  avoiding  lubrication. 
There  are  no  parts  to  be  obstructed  or  worn  by  waste  clay. 

The  cutting  wires  are  short  between  supports,  affording  greatest  rigidity.  A  polished 
smoothing  roller  is  used  at  discharge  end  of  Cutter,  giving  the  surface  or  faces  of  the  brick  an 
additional  finish.  I  he  surfaces  of  the  platen  and  side  bar  can  be  inexpensively  renewed.  1  he 
platen  and  its  parts  can  be  readily  removed  and  another  set  can  be  substituted  when  the  thick¬ 
ness  of  the  brick  is  to  be  changed. 

These  Cutters  have  earned  a  wide-spread  reputation  for  excellence.

SIZE  12  ROTATING  CUTTER 

This  machine  is  operated  by  hand,  but  is  constructed  upon  the  same  general  plan  as 
our  Automatic  Cutters,  and  produces  straight  brick  of  uniform  thickness  with  smooth 
and  perfect  edges.  It  is  designed  for  plants  whose  capacity  does  not  justify  the  expense 
of  an  Automatic  Cutter,  or  where  a  cutter  of  more  portable  character  is  desirable  to  permit  the 
substitution  of  other  cutters  to  suit  the  cutting  of  drain  tile  or  other  work. 

Four  sets  of  cutting  wires  are  used  in  this  cutter  (instead  of  three,  as  in  our  Automatic  Cut¬ 
ters),  each  coming  into  operation  successively.  The  fixtures  for  attaching  the  wires  are  similar 
to  those  used  in  our  other  cutters,  by  which  the  loop  can  be  easily  and  immediately  connected, 
and  the  wires  are  given  the  proper  tension  without  the  use  of  adjusting  screws. 

Only  one  operating  lever  is  used  the  down  movement  cuts  the  brick,  and  the  up  movement 
returns  the  carriage  to  the  die  ready  for  the  next  cut.  No  auxiliary  levers,  treadles,  or  wheels 
are  required. 

The  separating  belt  is  usually  driven  by  a  horizontal  shaft  extended  to  receive  power  from 
shaft  of  brick  machine  or  other  convenient  source.

THIS  is  a  modification  of  our  well-known 
Standard  Board  Delivery  Cutters,  in  which 
the  movement  of  cutting  wires  is  horizontal. 
In  this  Cutter  the  wires  have  both  vertical  and  hori¬ 
zontal  movement.  In  passing  through  the  clay  the 
wires  move  downward,  producing  a  draw  cut,  thus 
tending  to  make  the  edges  of  the  brick  smoother.  Can 
be  used  for  cutting  Roman,  Norman,  and 
standard  brick.  The  stroke  is  adjustable  to 
suit  size  of  work.  The  working  parts  are 
accurately  machine  finished.  The  move¬ 
ments  are  made  on  anti-friction  or  carrier 
rollers.

THIS  Cutter  is  intended  for  cutting  hollow  building 
blocks  and  similar  work.  The  carrier  plates  move 
with  the  clay.  No  sliding,  and,  therefore,  no  lubricat¬ 
ing  is  required.  The  cutting  bow  is  moved  by  the  carrier  plates, 
a  square  cut,  and  of  proper  length.  Wires  pass  down 
in  narrow  slots  between  carrier 
plates.  The  blocks  can  be  received 
on  a  pallet  held  by  the  attendant  to 
receive  them.  Can  be  used  lor  cut¬ 
ting  headers  or  stretchers,  the  latter 
either  full  or  half  lengths.  Height 
of  carriers  is  conveniently  adjusta¬
